Steven D'Aprano added the comment: At the risk of muddying the waters even further, I'd like to make _normalize a public parameter in Python 3.7. There's an interesting operation you can do with fractions, the mediant:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediant_%28mathematics%29 http://www.mathteacherctk.com/blog/2011/02/06/mediant-fractions-and-simpsons-paradox/ It's easy to work with mediants provided you have a way to prevent fractions from being normalised automatically. So I'm +1 on making _normalize a keyword-only argument for 3.6 as a first step. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27832> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
